BETHLEHEM — A man and a woman from Saugerties were arrested early Monday for driving a stolen SUV on the Thruway, State Police said.

At 3:45 a.m., troopers allegedly pulled over a 2008 Dodge Nitro driven by Elijah Gray for speeding. After running a computer check of the vehicle's license plates, troopers found that the SUV was stolen in Poughkeepsie. Gray also allegedly gave troopers a false name at first.

Gray, 44, and his passenger, Earline Bullock, 36, were arrested and charged with felony criminal possession of stolen property, which is punishable by up to seven years in prison. Gray was also charged with criminal impersonation and aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle, both misdemeanors, and ticketed for speeding.

Gray and Bullock were arraigned Monday in Bethlehem Town Court and sent to Albany County Correctional Facility after failing to post $20,000 bail.
